Lowlx Refreshment Stand.

At the foot of the Fifty-ninth street ele-
waited station, between a stout telegraph pole
and one of the iron pillars, there sits a buxom
colored woman attired in the proverbial blue
calico dress, an immaculate white apron, and
fantastical headdress OF bandanna handker-
chief An ironing board does duty in front
of her as counter. Upon this is placed at
c0e-end huge coffee urn with an oil stove
underneath Next TO this is an immense
waiter of deviled crabs. The woman usually
,akes up her stand about II o'clock at night,
and there she remains until it is nearly morn
ing. During the few minute intervals on
the elevated trains she indulges in cat maps.
As each train deposits its load of passengers
she suddenly enthuses with the thought of
possible customer The voice that has been
trained in the old plantation school of music
raises its notes and utters the refrain of ''Hot
coffee and debbled crabs.n If no one stops to
purchase, and the rapidly dispensing crowd
warns her to infuse more life into her cry,
she sings in a higher key, "Here's nice hot
corphy and debbel crabs. Oh, won't you buy
desc debbel crabs!'
The belated passenger who does try cup
of her coffee generally adds nickel to her
price, and, if his digestion be good, deviled
crab prepared in the old southern style of
cooking makes him wonder that such things
can be found at that time of night The wo-
man who keeps the stand is said to make be-
tween So and So per night.-New York Even

As Good as Gold.

took that nickel, which was then beauti-
fully goldplated, as 50 gold piece in pay
ment of bill. As soon as 1 detected tie
fraud I took it back to the woman who
passed it ON me, but she refused to make it
good. So attached it to my watch chain
and kept on supplying her with milk as
though nothing had happened But row
every day 1 make her quart one-fourth water,
and once week crt>iit her with onc-fourth
the amount of her milk bill in book which
1 keep for that purpose. When the sum
total standing to her credit is S4.95 she shall
have pure milk once more, and not until
then. She knows the I1ilk is watered, but
whenever she shows an inclination to COM
plain handle the nickel and say that my
milk is as pure as gold That settles it"-

EXCEPT the New York Sun, no Democrat
ic paper that has fallen under our notice has
uttered one word of objection to the recom'
mendations of the Presidents message. On
the other hand, the outspoken multiplication
organs of the party like the Louisville Cour-
ier JournaI insist that there must be harmony
in the party councils, and in their judgment
the only road to harmony is the unquaIneo
endorsement and support of the Presidents
revenue reform declarations, and their enact>
ment into law.
Democrats must prepare themselves to sup
mort q reduction of tariff duties next year,
and consequent decentralization OF business,
a blocking of new enterprises, serlons In
reference with the manufacturing industries
of the country, low wages, and all the train
of evils that follow in the wake OF such
state of affairs, or they must no longer train
with the anti-tariff PARTY. There can be nc
middle ground, nor cln any individual who
supports men FOR public office belonging to
that political organization escape responsible
ity. The issue is made up, and there can be
no dodgiug.
Belmont county is peculiarly interested in
this question. Upon a satisfactory solution
depends the future well>being OF all our peoN
pie; and their relations to the tariff should
be considerd now, and a decisive line mark
ed out for next years campaign.

Overpressura In the SchnnIs-


SPassing to the main question, overpressre
in the schools Is a fact to the same degree
that overpressure in other departments of
American life is a fact. Here 1 see no
reason to throw aside or modify the conclu-
sion that came to three or four years ago, of
which this is the substance: Our inherited
Saxon push, our national environments our
boundleSs opportunities, and our free institu-
uons, In respect to courage, audacity, enter
prise, and many forms of achievement, make
us people by ourselves. 1t would be hard
to name field of life in which our energy,
impatience and nervousness do not show
themselves. 1t is notorious that the average
American does moro work, whether physical
or mental, than any other average man in
the world; hence it is that America is the
gauge for measuring the most energetic COM
munities of the old world, as when Lanca-
shire, England, is called "America and
water"
The words in which Mr.. Herbert Spencer
spoke Of the injury done by our high pressure
life, at the dinner given him in New York
four or five years ago, will not soon be for
gotten. History has charged good deal TO
the American spirit, and credited it with
much more. Its worst effects, unfortunately.
are seen in the higher fields Of effort-sci-
ence, literature, education and art-where
time is an all important factor The tension
Of the public schools is too high in
the sense that the tension of our
business and social life is too high:
in other words, the schools partake
of the national genius. DR.. Stanley Hall,
some years ago, said he had seen file of one
hundred and fifty small German boys just as
they marched out Of the school house at noon
aquarter Of mile away; also that he had OBJ
served that the little girls at the'Victoria
school, Berlin, did not run step at recess, or
do anything that an equal number of ladies
might not do. But such things as these, it
hardly need be said, cannot be found in tho
typical American school-B. A. Hinsdale in

The preservation of the forests of the
country is attracting the attention Of thought
full men. In most of the states forestry as
sociations are being formed, and we are graf
flied to notice that the gentlemen at the head
of our farmers institutes in Ohio have ar
ragged with men who have given the matter
especial thought and investigation to deliver
lectures upon the growth Of trees aud the
preservation Of forests. -
Senator Sherman has prepared bill for
the preservation of the woods and forests ad
jacent to the source OF navigable rivers and
their afiluents. Just what its provisions are
we are not advised, but beyond their influ>
ence upon the streams, the preservation of the
forests will have far reaching and beneficial
effects. Mountains clothed with forests are
the natural reservoirs of the continent. De-
nude them of timber, and we have established
the conditions for turning fertile regions into
desert wastes. And that the destruction OF
the forests has an unfavorable Influence upon
the climate all persons who have observed
the destruction OF thirty years in Belmont
county, and the effects, must conccde; and
still the remorseless portable engine proceeds
with the work of destruction.
This is a matter that deserves the thought
full attention of all the people. Of course,
when farmer is offered as much for his
timber as the land occupied by it is worth,
the temptation is great, but he should take
steps to raise trees to take the places of those
destroyed. The people of this generation
have no moraPfight, merely for greed, to
make the conditions TOR tlraing this fertile
country inte desert,

An English ouack Doctors Trick.

A short time ago quack experimental in
Lambeth with considerable success upon the
pockets of an awe stricken crowd. After
preliminary harangue and terse little lect-
ure on the viscera, which the charlatan
sketched in with colored crnyons upon a
blackboard on which the human skeleton
was outlined in white paint, the fellow came
to business ~ am going to demonstrate to
you," said he, ''by startling experiment
upon one of you bystanders, that my
miraculous remedy can cure all diseases Of
the lungs and chest. Now, whoever's got
bad cough or cold on the chest let stand for
ward" There was some little hesitation and
a good deal Of gigglng. Don't be afraid,
my friends said the quack; "its all free,
gratis, for nothing. Let any afflicted person
come forward and I'll show him the nature
of his disorder, and give him packet Of my
lung healers for nothing At last man
with a violent cold and cough came forward.
The quack doctor pretended to sound his
chest with stethoscope Of almost pantomi-
mic proportions and informed the staring
crowd that the patient was in galloping
consumption.
my FRIEND" said the quack to the unfortu-
nate victim, $50 terrible is this disease that
you can actually see it." He handed a glass
tube to the patient and then poured a pint
of clear water into large thmbler. Just
you blow into that water, my FRIEND" he
cried The man obeyed, and the water grew
discolored, turbid, and at last as white as il
it had been mixed with milk. The patient
became as pale as ashes This unhappy
man, my friends" said the quack, as he held
the glass on high, ''if he had't had the good
fortune to come across me tonight wouldn't
have been long for this world / should have

given him about a fortnight; that's all
Now packet of my lung healers will cure
him. What you see in the glass of water are
his vitiated humors, the products of corrr,p-
ton. My magic lung healers destroy these
humors in the body or out of the body OBJ
serve, my friends, watch me carefully, there
is no deception here" The quack dropped a
pinch from one of a packet of powders into a
glass, and directed the patient to stir it with
the tube The water became Immediately
clear. Then he reaped his harvest The
water was lime water, and the carbonic acid
in the mans breath naturally threw down
the carbonate of lime at once, and rendered
the water turbid. And the miraculous lung
healer was simply little citric acid and
sugar which instantly redissolved it-Satur-

ICE THAT NEVER MELTS.
Heat Equal to That of Our Latitude
without Effect in Alaska.

Heat Equal to That of Our Latitude
without Effect in Alaska.
1t is remarkable indeed that so much of the
surface ground on the Yukon is frozen solid
to a depth of several feet. 1t is all the more
SO when we come TO realize the fact that dur
ing the summer it gets as hot there as in the
south. During the heat of the past season
the miners found it a great convenience togo
in bathing in the streams at least twice
day, and to seek shady places in which to
rock the gold out Of the gravel. At the break
ing up of winter the hours of sunshine are
rapidly increasing, and continue so until
midsummer, when the sun beams forth
twenty-five hours out of the twenty-four,
while on the high mountain peaks it is for
period of several days in June not entirely
out of sight the twenty-four hours.
Bat during all this heat and long days OF
continuous sunshine the suns rays do not
penetrate the heavy MOSES that cover nearly
the entire surface of the country, and conse-
quently the frozen ground underneath lies
in that state as if packed in an icehouse.
After it once becomes frozen, as any damp
ground will do in the winter time, it quickly
becomes covered with this moss, which is of
a remarkably rapid growth and attains
depth of some two feet or more. During the
heat of summer this moss becomes dry to the
depth of several inches, and the miners think
that by a continuous burning of it as fast as
it dries they will soon have the gravel bars
along the creeks, at least, cleared off, being
of the impression that when the gravel de-
posits are exposed to the scorchiag rays of
the sun and rains and atmosphere they will
readily thaw out.
When winter sets in the hours of sunshine
gradually decrease until during the shortest
days the sun shines but four hours out of the
twenty-four. But at this period the aurora
is most intense, and helps very materially in
driving darkness from that dreary land.
Tho Thermometer goes down to 20 dogs in
winter, but the atmosphere is very dry, and
consequently the cold is not so perceptiblo as
one'wduid imagine.-Juneau (Alaska) Free

Daniel ]. Ryan, Speaker pro TEN. of the last
Ohio House of Representatives, was elected
temporary President, over Gen. Nathan Ien'
NJ. c., from West Virginia Upon taking
the chair Mr. Ryan made brief speech, IN
which he made the significant and patriotic
utterance, "We are here to boom the Repuo'
lican party, and not any man in it" Senator
Eyarts, of New York, was permanent Presl
dent. Steps were taken to organize the clubs
with great national league, with suhordl
nate state leagues.
Many of the most prominent men OF tho
country were in attendance, and the meeting
attracted universal attention.

unIucky DAYS for Yeddinrs.

1t is well to recall one or two interesting
superstitions that were religiously noted in
the time of our grandmothers. In the first
place, according to an ancient and reliable
chronicle, there are thirty-two days in the
year that are especially unlucky for mar
riages and journeys They are as follows:
Jan. l, 2, 4, 5, Z, 10 and Is; Feb. 6, Z and Is;
March l, 6 and S; April and IL; May 5, 6
and Z; June and Is; July and 10; Aug. Is
and 10; Sept 5 and Z; Oct. Z; Nov. Is and 16,
and Dec Is, 16 and II. Everybody knows
that Friday is the most unlucky day for
wedding, while Wednesday and Thursday
are the luckiest. Our Grandmothers believed
that it was q most unfortunate thing If the
bride, after finishing her toilet and leaving
her looking glass, should turn around again
for last glance at herself. 1t was also bad
for her to see the man she was about to marry
after dressing and before the time had come
for the ceremony.-Ncw York Star.
